Feijóo questions postal voting integrity, cites experience as former Correos chief
People's Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo warned that postal voting may lack safeguards, drawing on his former role at Correos.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, head of the People's Party, used a pre-campaign event in Ceuta to question the reliability of postal voting, emphasizing his past tenure as president of Correos. He stated he trusts the couriers and public employees of the postal service but not its senior managers, and suggested that the justice system shares his concerns. Feijóo said the party will soon submit proposals to the Central Electoral Board aimed at strengthening guarantees for mail-in ballots.
His comments align with a broader party narrative that has repeatedly raised doubts about the voting process, a stance also voiced by regional leaders such as Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The party hopes to mobilize voters and secure a strong mandate in the forthcoming elections.
Why it matters
Feijóo's doubts could influence public confidence in mail-in voting and affect upcoming election dynamics.
